Abstract:

Studies of Bollywood's growing corpus of "diasporic" films have illuminated the gendered logic of marriage and capital flow as a means by which "corrupted" diasporic Indians can gain spiritual and cultural rejuvenation in/through India. Not only is this logic deeply heteronormative, but it is centered on North Indian immigrants whose religious identities are represented as slipping easily between Hindu and Sikh. However, the events of 9/11 and the 11/08 Mumbai terror attacks have shifted both the unilinear trajectory of diasporic plotlines and made Indian American Muslims newly visible as diasporic subjects. This paper traces shifting Bollywood narratives of diaspora and cultural citizenship within the context of a transnational "war on terror."
